Recap - 2018 Veterans Appreciation BBQ

For those thinking about starting something in your area, myself, Shagdog, and Chicagokp started something up in Milwaukee/Chicago area and once you know who to talk to, it’s not too hard to get something rolling. Don’t be intimidated by it. It is totally worth all the work so see the vets happy!

Phil, thanks for letting us crash at your place! We had a blast!


I second this. I'd love to see this happening nationwide! And if you live in the midwest or are willing to drive to Milwaukee and would like to get involved, contact me, oifmarine, or chicagoKP. Our next big event is June 8th, where we'll be cooking for over 1000 vets. We still need more cooker and volunteers.

Phil, thanks for everything. It was a great event, and it was the best run so far. I am truly humbled to be able to be a part of it. And thanks for the hospitality.
 
Finally had some time to sit and look through the pix with proper attention. This is just extrememlely cool on so many levels! I hope to participate in one of these one day. Y'all are some cool farkers - very nicely done, guys.
